I just completed a new set of models for this year\u2019s origami tree at the American Museum of Natural History. I\u2019ve been working in the space of arctic marine animals, and designed a Walrus and an Elephant Seal. These animals are featured in dioramas in the museum. Both are new designs and I\u2019m pleased with how they turned out. They\u2019re relatively easy to fold too: less than hour and maybe 20 or 30 steps. I\u2019ve been striving lately to create less complex models that still capture some sculptural essence of the subject and think these are pretty successful in the regard. As a bonus I folded a Rocketship and a UFO. All the models were folded out of 12\u201d (30cm) paper, the marine animals out of Canson and the space vehicles out of Tant. While a was taking photos I also included a balloon I folded recently, also of 12\u201d tant. Next up: origami narwhal.<\/p>\n
